Quote from @MJoergen in a Skype conversation:
Here's an idea for M2M version 3 (or whatever): Add ethernet support (UDP and/or TCP) in QNICE, and then let it read files from a network file share. For instance, in the OSM one would configure an IP address, and then the file browser would read files from a server instead of from the SDCard. This would require users to setup a file sharing server on their host PC. I actually played around with that some years ago using the TFTP protocol, but perhaps HTTP is more "modern". Anyway, this requires implementing a TCP/IP stack in QNICE assembly. This would be a purely framework-only feature, i.e. the core would be agnostic of it.
At a later stage one could perhaps somehow add support for it in the C64 core, e.g. by assigning device number 9 or 10 to this feature, so users could just type LOAD "$",9,1 to browse the file server directly.
